lol imagine you literally print paper out of nothing (issue treasury bill debt) and people hand you any physical object you want and yet you want to fuck up that system to score cheap political points at home
So many rich and managerial class Americans have no idea what it’s like to actually work and provide value to the economy and they’re about to FAFO.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate voted today to advance S. 5, the Laken Riley Act, teeing the bill up for a final vote on Monday. The first immigration bill of the new Congress, the proposed law would require the government to detain people who pose no risk to their communities. Under the bill, individuals would be mandatorily locked up – potentially for years – because at some point in their lives, perhaps decades ago, they were accused of nonviolent offenses like shoplifting.
Retroactive internment camps are coming. A lot of lives are going to be profoundly negatively affected by this administration.
Lorenzo Sewell, the pastor who delivered a blessing at Trump's swearing in ceremony, announced a new meme coin named for him just hours after he prayed in the Capitol Rotunda.
"The crypto community was kind enough to send me $Lorenzo, so I have permanently locked my tokens into a Liquidity Pool, so that I will never sell on the community but rather just earn fees as our token continues to flourish," Sewell wrote in an X post.
He added: "Amazing day, all the Glory to God!"
Even the prayer dude is a crypto grifter now. Holy shit.
The Trump administration moved quickly to shut down a government app that allows migrants to schedule appointments to enter at a port of entry. Nearly a million immigrants entered this way during the time it was in place. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection website says the application is down and appointments are cancelled.
Well, they're not wasting any time. They're already shutting down and cancelling asylum appointments. Wishing everyone the best who will be profoundly affected by this administration.
Daily reminder that the astronauts that capitalism stranded on the ISS are still stuck up there.
the normalization of gun violence in the US is crazy. 14 year olds with AR-15s shooting up their schools. Presidential candidates dodging bullets every few weeks.
And it’s all so dang normal now that they will barely last a news cycle.
Don’t blame me for Genocide Kamala, I supported Genocide Gavin.

Which one of you wrote this highly upvoted masterpiece on /r/JoeBiden?
I'm in shock. I don't know what was the final straw for the President, a man who I have considered -- and still do consider -- to be a real-life Jed Bartlett hybridized with Captain America.
I trust the President and always have. He has never let me down. For him to make such a move means he must have compelling reason to do so.
I keep thinking back to 2020. That year, in a moment of somber and morbid inspiration, we lost Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an icon to whom, if she were a religion, I would convert despite my pro-life -- yet otherwise liberal -- tendencies. Her death was like a clarion call for all of us to rise up and remove the now-convicted-felon donald trump. I wondered much these last few weeks what would be the move which would propel us in this election.
Starting now, we must quickly pick up the pieces and, just as Captain America said in Endgame, we must "Assemble". We have a convention coming up. The delegates, democratically chosen by the voters, will democratically elect at that Democratic convention the nominee of the Democratic Party.
Late stage empire vibes.
And ALL of this in the past week, lmao.
For example, we have a thousand trillionaires in America – I mean, billionaires in America. And what’s happening? [...] making sure that we’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the COVID – excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with. Look, if – we finally beat Medicare.

wow, actually looking more likely than not that Biden drops out. Lots of reports in the media and his lackeys aren’t around to blame it on a bad day, etc.
Dude did so bad in the debate he actually destroyed his chances at the presidency. It’s literally the worst debate performance in American presidential history lmao.

Kinda wild that the Americans elected this guy all by themselves and he's going to just destroy their own country over the next four years and no one else has to lift a finger - and they love him for it.. Like who would have guessed when Survivor aired in 2000 that a reality TV star would eventually unravel the whole place. It just blows my mind to watch this in real time.
